The old "guilty until proven innocent" attack eh?I think you need Tortdog and Lady Lawyer to give you lessons.
What was shown to you, and the jury, was the fact you didn't put any evidence on the table.
It's known as 'Innocent UNTIL proven GUILTY' in the trade.

Great Pining them to this post, Guys, who is right here, do I need to prove my innocence, or Does the prosecutor have to prove me guilty? Also, is the default verdict not guilty?

Actually, I put quite a bit of evidence on the "Table" it's not my fault you did not even look at it.

I know you think you are being fair, but
your post said "Yet another failure by the defense to show proof."
The defense doesn't have to show "proof" the Prosecution shows proof. The defense tries to mitigate, or negate the proof shown by the defense.
In a court of Law, (My understanding) even if the defense does nothing, if the Prosecutor does not convince the Jury the defendant is found innocent. It's known as not proving your case.
JFTR, I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night....
